  • Depiction:
    The material of Kang Yu-jin's work is based on the images he finds around his life or the scenes he captured on his trip. In life, the artist's gaze does not stop at looking at the object in a straight line, but the image reflected in a window or mirror and the image captured through it overlap, and the image in nature is combined with the image brought from the mind. The screen of the work is formed through the process of inferring images similar to the scenery viewed by the artist, and sometimes very heterogeneous images are presented as a way to relate through the surrealist dephase network technique. Artists engaged in creation observe the object to be included in the work and faithfully reproduce it, but they also project their aesthetic sensitivity and philosophical thinking to reinterpret it creatively. The representative method of recording the object that Kang Yu-jin looks at is to look at it from a comprehensive perspective by combining the elements revealed behind the visual shock that occurs from the object rather than looking at it as it is. To this end, the artist technically uses enamel paint and acrylic appropriately to introduce features of two-dimensionality and three-dimensionality to one screen, and in terms of material, the screen is composed more three-dimensional and richly by combining real and imaginary images.
